Been sitting silently in awe Phil. Even once I'd picked up my dropped jaw I still couldn't find the words.  You're doing a fantastic job - well done mate.

I don't know about best in the world Ty[:o)] Thanks for the encouragement though guys, Im glad you guys enjoy the progress pics  Im nearly ready to start some of the trim work under the front dash area once I finish the heater box off this weekend. I have sourced 2 ceramic heaters with mini electric heater cores measuring 75mm x 75mm each. They crank out 110 deg c heat so that should sufficiently heat the old girl!! I will remove the heater internals and mount them into the factory vent box...that should keep things neat and tidy while providing some more creature comforts[;^)] Here are some pics of the heater and the internals.

The heaters look interesting. What sort of amperage do they draw from 12V?

Hi Timmeh, They draw 25 amps. I did the install today,after testing,only one was required which is good as 50 amps is a more than I'd like Anyone for a 12v heater[%]

A little masking tape and some satin black works wonders[;^)]

I got a little bit of trim done today Both the under dash shelves are trimmed along with the kick panels and inner sill covers. Once I finish putting the shelves and kick panels in there's a body colour fascia that goes right across the car following the shelf line to fit up as well. I cant wait to see how it looks...its been many years since any plush trim resided in the old girl[(#)]
